Medved hopping on the MYTH train.

[livius]

He’s the only one I wouldn’t vote for.

[timetostand]

They’re trying to pick our 2012 candidate again!
Mitt will lose and Obama will Rule and finish The US off!!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Medved is a loser.

[pnh102]

If it is Mitt we are voting 3rd party. No point in voting for whitey 0bama.

[WVKayaker]

a mainstream conservative generally acceptable to many tea party insurgent

NOT!

IMHO, the ONLY acceptable tea party insurgent has a TV show on Sunday's at 9PM on the Discovery Channel! She gets her hands dirty!

Myth wears funny underwear and wants to be god...

Gingrich in 2012

“To Save America”

[dalereed]

Flush Mitt, it’s a stinking turd!

[4rcane]

The author seem to forget Reagan’s run
Also Palin can easily be considered the runner up, “her turn” candidate from the last election, not romney or huckabee

[CDFingers]

Here is another history lesson. RINOs LOSE to charismatic Democrats.

My nightmare scenario is that Romney and Palin will split the anti-Obama vote (with one of them running as a third party candidate) and Obama will win again.

I think there are a sizable number of “establishment Republicans” who would strongly prefer being the minority opposition to Obama than having to give up control of their party to the “rabble” represented by grassroots conservatives.

I hope my nightmare scenario does not come to pass.

Ick.

[Smokin' Joe]

Mitt’s history. It is obvious to all but the leftists that the voters want to take our government to the Right.

[COBOL2Java]

For 2012, that means Mitt's the man.

[DemforBush]

I do think there’s a place for a guy like Romney in a GOP administration. He’d be great over at Treasury, IMHO. But at the top of the ticket? Not my choice at all.

[Junior_G]

IOW, History says the GOP will blow it in 2012.

[Reeses]

If the GOP nominates another rich old white man to slap down a black president many underdog voters will slap back on that point alone. If the GOP nominates a Hispanic along the lines of Marc Rubio then Barky can’t win. A woman candidate has a chance. The political timing isn’t right for another rich old white man that strangely wants it too bad.

[Godebert]

Does this Medved guy actually have an audience?

[ziravan]

Ummm, the Huckster was the runner up, not Mitty. (Not that I’d vote for either.)

By the article’s own definitions, Mitt’s toast.

But.

You could read from the article how Sarah fits the described mold.

Just saying.
